Last weekend, Ken & I bought a beautiful little metal gazebo- rusted and perfect for SO many of my tiny spots here- it's not big at all - 6 ft. wide. But here it sits, still on the truck! Not as easy as I thought, with only two of us to manage getting it off there! The leg columns are lying down in the bottom of the truck bed. :)

This is not "new" new, but new to me! I hope that counts! :)

Taken for the Jules' Photo Challenge Group

Instructions: April 28 - Something brand new ( purchased or received within the last week or so)

Goldfield Ghost Town, Apache Junction, Pinal County, AZ Jul 2, 2011 — I hand-held multiple exposures then converted five images to tiffs using Lightroom. I used Photomatrix to tone-map the HDR image. I spruced-up the image using the Topaz plug-ins DeNoise, Detail, and Simplify, and touched-up the image using Photoshop.

And a fence of course. HFF and have a great weekend!:)

This old rusted hook was screwed into a blue wooden fence post or something of that nature, and had bits of ivy covering it.

Left over from a set of hay mow pulleys I photographed several years ago. I took another shot at it because I love the casting detail as well as the rusty texture. This is another 50mm prime lens exercise. It provides a great quality shot.

I have found my personal rust paradise, only about 45 min from me. acres of old cars and trucks untouched for decades. It was a scrap yard years ago, but even the wrecks are awesome. I was overwhelmed walking the place, it would take a solid month just to see it all. much less Photograph. so...anytime I want to shoot old cars. I got that covered.

Not sure what to think of it but I thought I'd dedicate this photo for their rusty algorithm.
